Impact of an Acute Bout of Low- and High-Frequency Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Voluntary Muscle Fatigue and Antioxidant Response
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an intervention used for promoting skeletal muscle contraction, strength, and hypertrophy, particularly in populations with limited voluntary exercise capacity. Stimulation frequency is a key NMES parameter that may influence force production, fatigue …

NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IN COMPARISON TO HEAT THERAPY AS A MODALITY AFTER EXERCISE-INDUCED MUSCLE FATIGUE
… of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and heat therapy (HT) as recovery modalities after inducing fatigue with maximal exercise in active individuals. The study involved 56 participants who performed a fatiguing exercise before the intervention. They then either rested (control …

Effect of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation muscle strength training intervention on muscle force and mass, physical health and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury
… Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is already commonly used to activate skeletal muscles and subsequently reverse muscle atrophy, however NMES as a high-intensity “strength training” intervention appears to be a particularly promising technique for increasing muscle strength …

The Effects of an Acute Bout of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Anabolic Signaling of the mTORC1 Pathway in Individuals with Chronic Stroke
… weakness. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is often used to facilitate involuntary muscle contraction; however, the effect of NMES on muscle growth in hemiparetic muscle is not clear. PURPOSE: To determine the skeletal muscle anabolic response of an acute bout of NMES in individuals …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve muscle weakness in hip osteoarthritis: A feasibility study
… required. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses that can restore and increase skeletal muscle mass when voluntary exercise is limited due to pain during joint loading. The scoping review conducted in this integrated thesis …

Electrical stimulation and neuromuscular fatigue in healthy and chronic post-stroke populations
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown to be effective for recovery of motor function following injury or pathology, however, NMES can impart rapid fatigue and the specific parameters of stimulation that maximize force output and delay the onset of fatigue remain unclear. …

Evaluation of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as a Bone Loss Countermeasure on a Long Duration Mars Mission
… of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), a therapy that induces involuntary contractions of muscles, to help mitigate astronaut bone loss as a result of microgravity. To accomplish this, we first produced a finite element analysis model of the femur, to determine the strain at the …

Effectiveness of surface electromyographic biofeedback-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation on knee rehabilitation
… electrical stimulation (sEMG-triggered NMES) in post-surgical knee patients. Methods. Twenty-five participants were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: (1) sEMG-triggered NMES intervention with exercise group, or (2) exercise-only comparison group. All participants received …

Attenuation of the scintillation light in liquid argon and investigation of the double beta decay of ⁷⁶Ge into excited states of ⁷⁶Se in the GERDA experiment
… uncertainties. The accuracy of the different NMEs and their internal model assumptions can be increased by considering experimental investigations. While the NMEs for the 0𝜈𝛽𝛽 decay and the neutrino accompanied double beta (2𝜈𝛽𝛽) decay are numerically different, they rely on similar model …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
… to IPR.Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an approach that could address both extrinsic need for periodic, sustained weight shifting and intrinsic need to improve muscle geometry and quality. It has been shown that, gluteal muscle mass increased in persons with SCI with continued …

Genomics research and cultivating serendipity in pharmaceutical drug discovery : assessing the competitiveness of R&D productivity between the West and Asia
… a historical high of 53 new molecular entities (NMEs) in 1996, the industry has since witnessed a steady decline of NME filings (down to 18 in 2006) with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)---despite rapidly escalating R&D spending among the world's major pharmaceutical firms (the …

The effect of maximal isometric training on doublet-induced force enhancement and its relationship with changes in voluntary rate of force development
… male participants. Electrical stimulation (NMES) trains were delivered to the muscle at 20 Hz and 40 Hz and incorporated short (5 and 10 ms) inter-pulse intervals (IPIs) at the onset of stimulation (i.e. variable-frequency trains; VFT). The influence of the short inter-pulse interval was …
